L3Harris Technologies and Skydagger Technologies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for wider collaboration in supporting advanced C-UAS technology.
“Under the agreement, the companies will work in close collaboration to identify new capabilities for L3Harris’ VAMPIRE™ C-UxS system, including drone-on-drone interception,” said the companies in a press release. “The new VAMPIRE drone capability would be manufactured in the United States for allied operations. The MOU provides L3Harris with a strong partner to support the acceleration of delivery timelines, strengthen industrial resilience and enhance mission adaptability across contested environments.
“This MOU brings together Skydagger’s new and affordable C-UxS drone technology with L3Harris’ proven capabilities in drone detection and defeat,” said Tom Kirkland, President, Targeting & Sensor Systems, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. “The VAMPIRE system’s modularity allows it to integrate with new kinetic and non-kinetic effectors and adapt to the rapidly evolving C-UxS mission.”
The MOU is designed to encourage collaboration on a new drone integration for the benefit of both L3Harris’ and Skydagger’s customers.
In 2026, L3Harris initiated high-volume production of the VAMPIRE system in Huntsville, Alabama.
